It's pathetic that they have two different recognition programs at their different brands. There should be just ONE with different levels...and it would entice me to stay at IC properties.

And if Ambassador program goes away what makes you think a Platinum status will instead suffice. I can not see it happening.

If you think IC's struggle with number of Ambassador's + RA's staying at the moment, it would be far worse if the millions of Platinums had to be given recognition and meaningful upgrades.
